Who is the one player on the stadium OF wall who's name or career you never heard anything about? Take a guess. Then if you want to read up on him, make sure you are sitting down.

I don't know who you are referring to, but I am familiar with all of them. None of them are even slightly unknown or obscure.

Didn't he score a big run in a big game several years ago?

More than several lol, but yes.
He's just the one that I, as a child of the 80's, know the least about, so I'm guessing that's who OP is talking about.

Yep, game 7 in 1946. Supposedly scored from first on Harry Walker's single, but actually it was a double by Walker. Nevertheless, Slaughter ran through the coach's stop sign at third to give the Cardinals a one-run lead (Red Sox SS Johnny Pesky was accused of freezing and not throwing home in a timely manner). Harry Breechen closed it out in the 9th for his 3rd Series victory. Good times.

We can argue CT doesn't talk enough about Bottomley, Marion, Frisch, Martin, Moore, Bill White, Orlando Cepeda and maybe others.
However, Hornsby is mentioned consistently. At least every 2-3 months, especially when we are opining about the Cards' Mount Rushmore.

Hornsby? The second greatest Cardinal of all time Hornsby? Anyone doesn't know who he is isn't a fan.
